is profoundly regretted.

robbed in broad daylight recently by a
stranger of genteel dress just after she
had made a deposit in the Citizens

Another Bomb Sensation.
lBy telegraph 10 the Dispatch.l


DUBUQUE, a., November IA gas
pipe bomb filled with dynamite or gun
cotton was thrown into the Iowa Iron
Works, in this city, last night and ex-
ploded. The building was set on fire,
but the flames were extnguished by the
workmen. 1t is miracle that there was
not a great loss of life. 1t is supposed
that the bomb was thrown in an open
window. The works here fear no trouble
at all with their men, but have been run
ming a double force for nine months.
The theory is that the bomb was prepared
by some one having grudge against
the works or else an out-and-out An
archist. The bomb is now in possession
of the city police marshal, and Anarch-
lists are being hunted for.

who were entranced by its exquisite
coloring and the story that it so wildly
illustrated was a poor little goyerness.
She came with her charges. two children
of wealthy man, to spend an afternoon
among the glories OF Burlington House.
Alma Tadema's pictures, with their sun

more lovely types OF Athens.

admirers at the Academy. This day
